Given that it isn't actually a relay, that seems odd.
It's my impression that nothing actually gets published, though,
at least (when idle), the log looks like this:
Sep 06 22:56:30.255 [info] {OR} mark_my_descriptor_dirty(): Decided to publish new relay descriptor: time for new descriptor

No messages from router_pick_published_address(), which I see on actual relays.
Another reason is 'config change', but it appears a lot less frequently.
It looks like the messages started to appear with Tor 0.2.3.2-alpha,
but I only noticed them after the upgrade to 0.2.3.3-alpha.
I didn't get any such messages with Tor 0.2.3.1-alpha." defect closed Low Tor: 0.2.3.x-final Core Tor/Tor Tor: 0.2.3.3-alpha fixed tor-client
